Interesting story. The 8:25am flight BNE-ADL is QF661 and is operated by a 737-800. I guess it would take a long time to locate baggage containers for a 737-800 since that aircraft type does not use containerised baggage.

So either Qantas had substituted a 767 for that flight yesterday, or someone has something not quite straight in the story.
